[Stop the War Coalition @STWuk]

You're gaslighting the British public, pretending we're playing no part or just a minor part in bombing Iran. You dragged us in when you let Trump use our airbases

Formally break with US foreign policy and put welfare before warfare and people might just believe you

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

This war is costing lives, risks a wider regional conflict and is driving up costs for everyone.

Bold action like this is needed to help end it.

Our government should follow Spain's example - and stop US planes from using British bases for Trump's war.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

Israel has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees.

Death by hanging.

Mandatory sentencing.

No pardon.

90 days to kill them.

It applies through military courts - 97.5% conviction rate.

Doesn't apply to Israelis.

Horrific apartheid - worse than South Africa.

Silence

[nazir afzal @nazirafzal]

95% of those executed by Apartheid South Africa were Black

Israel has now passed a law that will impose executions which will be 100% Palestinian & in the occupied territories

The argument about whether Israel operates an apartheid regime is now over

It does

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Israel is the first state which has a death penalty for one race but not another since Nazi Germany.

Ever heard of Palantir?

Here's why it matters:

Palantir is a US software company.

It specialises in data products, used widely by governments for surveillance, intelligence and military purposes.

In January 2024, Palantir signed a contract with the Israeli military to use its technology in support of “war-related missions.”

Palantir has a deep relationship with US law enforcement. It supplies ICE with tools that can be used to surveil and target migrants in the US.

Now, that same company is working at the heart of our NHS.

Palantir has already received £330 million of our money for its contract with our NHS England.

Healthworkers and patients have been ringing the alarm for years: this is not right.

What’s happening in Gaza is an ongoing genocide.

We shouldn’t have a company linked to human rights abuses have anything to do with our precious NHS.

UK bases being used for US strikes on these Iranian missile sites is another worrying escalation.

The US and Israel started this war and have killed countless civilians. The UK is actively supporting.

MPs must be given a vote on our involvement.

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

The Green MPs and Peers have written to Keir Starmer to urge for an end to the UK's involvement in the US and Israel's illegal war.

Under international law, the UK is obliged to have no involvement in illegal military action, including the use of UK bases and UK-made weapons.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Spain is leading the way declaring.

NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Be more Spanish.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

"A ceasefire in name only.

Another dark day with 30 people reportedly killed only today.

Nearly 500 people have been killed since the ceasefire has been in place, among them more than 100 children according to @UNICEF.

A ceasefire means guns fall silent and give way to efforts to end the war.

Enough. People in Gaza deserve a genuine ceasefire - a much overdue ceasefire."

The UK does not have a welfare problem.

It's got a corrupt politician and corrupt political elite problem.

It's got a billionaire problem.

Tax the reach.

[Dr Andrew Meyerson @AndrewMeyerson]

Dear 🇬🇧,

Here’s your reminder that a decade ago, before the NHS was intentionally gutted by the Tories, the UK health service was ranked #1 in the world. Do not let @Nigel_Farage con you into believing otherwise. It’s time to end privatisation and reinvest in the NHS.

Free speech and free expression, including media freedom, are universal human rights.

Two years ago today, Hind Rajab was killed by Israeli forces. She was five years old.

On 29th January 2024, Hind and her relatives were fired on by an Israeli tank when trying to flee to safety. Everyone in the vehicle was killed by the initial attack except Hind and her 15-year-old cousin, Layan.

Layan called the Palestinian Red Crescent but was killed shortly after, leaving Hind on the line.

The two medics who were dispatched, Youssef Zeino and Ahmed al-Madhoun, in a vehicle marked as a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance to rescue her, were also targeted by Israeli tank fire as they approached. They were both killed.

The recording of Hind’s call to the Red Crescent spread across the world.

Hind is one of the at least 20,179 children who have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 2023 - according to the latest reports from the United Nations. The real figure is likely much higher.

Justice for Hind Rajab requires not only her killers to be brought to justice. The architects of the genocide in Gaza must be held accountable too. Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant must face trial at the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Labour and Reform love water privatisation because it means higher bills and more profits for their donors.

Nationalise water now.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Not sure the magnitude of this is fully understood: Israel has wiped out 2,700 families in Gaza, leaving 6,000+ people as the sole survivors of entire bloodlines. This is the result of deliberate policy, pursued with full knowledge of its effects. This is not war. It is genocide.

[Claudia Webbe @ClaudiaWebbe]

Eight people are dying in British prisons. Literally. We are in the second month of their indefinite hunger strike.

They’re not criminals. They are prisoners of conscience, protesting against Israel’s genocide of Gaza.

The British state is torturing them into silence. Free them

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

77 years ago today, the UN adopted the Genocide Convention – a treaty to ensure mass atrocities such as the Holocaust never happened again.

Tragically, this has not been the reality.

Nearly 2 months after the so-called ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza, Palestinians are still enduring Israel’s genocide.

Over 350 people have been killed by Israeli forces since October 29, with access to life-saving aid and medical supplies still restricted.

And the UK is still failing in its obligation to help prevent and punish genocide.

A ‘ceasefire’ does not mean the genocide is over.
